I'm not a Superman fan but I respect him as the superhero progenitor; he's bit too been there done that for me.

However I agree that his rogue's gallery is excellent. I'm actually quite disappointed that they picked relatively mundane, done already villains for MOS. I would have gone with Brainiac and Metallo myself (in fact I though up a plot with those 2 that IMO was really good; forgotten it now).

Although I suspect the reason they went with Zod (again) is that the budget doesn't support more exotic villains.

I want to see Metallo too. I agree that they went Zod is becaue of the budget restraints. Plus, Zod is familiar to audiences so its easier to use him. He lets them use a familiar villain without using Lex Luthor.

BTW I've come up with alot of plots with Braniac and Metallo too. One involved Braniac using Metallo's body as an avatar to fight Superman.

I should know a lot more about the Avengers. I have all the comics online but I just haven't read half of them. There just isn't time.

ALL of them? including the Westcoast and Great Lakes?

 

[Brian Braddock]

Ah, the West Coast Avengers. Excuse me while I have a bit of a nostalgia trip.

This is the route I would take with the Superman films.

MOS - Brainiac & Metallo

MOS 2 - Doomsday found and unleashed by Lex Luthor

MOS 3 - Darkseid & his Parademons

Well they're FRIGGING AMAZING!
Reading them since I was like 8...and my dad since the 1960's :3

 

[Dark Raven]

lol yeah I thought about that about a year ago. it's been how many years since Jess dyed her hair? THEN the wig? lol

She had the wig for a while, but then she stopped using that in later issues when her actual hair grew out that long.

I think Jessica's brown hair has probably been forgotten about by Marvel. She never seems to have any streaks in her black hair or roots showing. She's even often praised for having the most beautiful hair out of the women in the Marvel universe and yet, for all of that, it's dyed black.

I'm guessing Marvel just treat Jessica now as having naturally black hair, which would be fine by me, except that it's a nice little detail that she had to disguise herself more in the early years.

Emily Blunt would have to be in superb shape for Jessica though, because she has such a skintight costume and I would want it to remain that way in the movie. None of this realistic leather or other material. It should be as tight as possible to accentuate every curve and look basically like she's wearing body paint.

 

[Dark Raven]

ALL of them? including the Westcoast and Great Lakes?

I don't think Great Lakes, but West Coast. Not actual hard copies but digital copies. I couldn't afford the actual ones for an entire collection, although I do have at least about 75-100 in hard copy form.

Well they're FRIGGING AMAZING!

I do enjoy them, but there just isn't time to sit around for hours. Plus I usually forget I even have them.

 

[Hawkingbird]

Ah crap...I'm crying at the trailer again...

 

[captainrogers]

Ah crap...I'm crying at the trailer again...

It IS pretty good.

 

[Hawkingbird]

Is anybody else ticked off at the number of people going
"lol wheres spiderman? look at ironman kik thors ass ha he sucks"

 

[darthmagic]

I know am late to the party but as for the Black Panther there can be only one. chiwetel ejiofor

 

[craigdbfan]

He's an amazing actor so I'd be completely for it.

Believe it or not, I've heard those types of coments a lot.
I just tell them to wait 'till they see the movie.
Or just compare Thor to Superman in terms of power. ('cause I figure that's the best and SIMPLEST comparison to a non comics aficionado)
Then I get the "Oh..."
As for the Spidey ish... I have a few friends that still ask if Spideys gonna show up in this or the next Avengers movie.
I've given up on that explanation.
I just tell them the 'legalese' is too difficult to translate at current for that to happen.
Plus Spidey is just fine and does very well when being the underdog and dealing with his own enemies
In his own story.

Humanity makes me facepalm sometimes.



Well, a lot actually.

There's quite a few of the same quotes being repeated over and over. The one I get pissed about the most is "Where's Edward Norton, he should be Hulk" we just can't seem to get across to these people that the man simple would not be a team player in this ensemble, he had to go.

Another one is people complaining about Hawkeye and Black Widow are out of place, but we need the normal humans POV, makes the movie more assessable to regular movie going folk.

 

[captainrogers]

Yup.
Who is the actor that was the bounty hunter in the final Ep of Firefly? I could see him as a contender as well.
I wanted to see MORE of that character. But alas... No more Firefly.
*sobbing in the corner*

 

[Kirmit]

You're right, there wasn't any power punches either of the Hulk films, THOR, either Iron Man films or most superhero films in general.

True there wasn't super powered punches in either Hulk films but there were two super powered kicks in TIH.

 

[Godzilla2000]

Humanity makes me facepalm sometimes.

Humanity makes me face palm all the time.

 

[Dark Raven]

I think we need Black Panther in the next movie if even purely for the visual aspect that he brings. He looks mysterious next to the others and is one of the few characters (apart from Iron Man) who is fully masked. He could look (to the general audience) a bit like a baddie (all in black) so could come across as very cool.

 

[Vartha]

Ah, the West Coast Avengers. Excuse me while I have a bit of a nostalgia trip.

lol That really wasn't that bad of a series.
Great lakes, well I grew up in Chicago...that was just FUN. lol

 

[Kirmit]

No offense, but you're trippin' if you think you're gonna see something like that in the movie-verse. There stands as much chance of the GA laughing at that like "Really???" as there does them being in awe. The disparity of the size factor alone can create issues with suspension of disbelief.

When I said for him to pick up the Leviathan I wasn't talking about the whole thing, just a section, like if it landed ontop of him, everyone thinks he's been crushed then you see part of the body lifting in the air until you see Hulk.

 

[Hawkingbird]

I've always been a bit weird about loads of separate teams in Avengers. Right now reading Heroic Age in UK. Love BMB, but he can't seem to write stories that go into happy endings :')

 

[Crimson King]

Re: Hulk

I think part of the reason his movies haven't risen to the popularity heights of his comics is that he hasn't been portrayed as an actual character yet. Ang Lee's Hulk tried, but no one wants an emo Hulk. TIH presented Hulk as a punching machine who said maybe three things the whole movie.

All signs point to Whedon actually doing the Hulk justice in terms of characterization. If he succeeds, and makes Hulk more like his A:EMH counterpart, I think we'll see his popularity rise.

lol yeah, we WERE. but Spidey wasn't a "team player" for YEARS even went to FF for a JOB back when he started out. Spidey wouldn't be in the team for a LONG time in the Movie-verse not to mention under another company like Wolverine is lol

 

[Hawkingbird]

It's just the complete naivety. Read the comics if you want to know!!
